Nothing more bizarre than a pandemic could have hit the world. 2020 was marked with millions of infections and deaths because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the novel coronavirus spread all over the world. Many countries enforced strict lockdowns and shut down schools, colleges, offices, and other institutions to keep the pandemic in check. The world literally came to a halt.

In a bizarre turn of events, Poland briefly invaded the Czech Republic in what was later called a 'misunderstanding'. Polish troops, in their bid to enforce pandemic measures, prevented Czech visitors from visiting a chapel, which was later found to be in the Czech territory.

As if the pandemic was not enough, swarms of locusts laid siege to Delhi and the National Capital Region in July 2020. The locusts are known to pay a seasonal visit to certain areas of the country but in a pandemic-hit country, it took everyone by surprise. A similar locusts attack in West Africa also created a buzz this year, with many thinking of a Biblical plague.
